The Philadelphia Phillies place Laynce Nix on the D.L.
The Phillies have placed 31-year old lefty swinging outfielder Laynce Nix on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 10th, due to a strained right calf. Nix has played in 22 games for the Phillies so far this year and he is 15 for 46 (.326 avg, .979 OPS) with 7 runs scored, 2 homers and 11 RBIs. This is a big loss for the Phillies as Nix was giving them a lethal lefty bat off the bench. They hope he only misses a couple of weeks.
